Answer 2

IMPORTANT LINE RELATED EQUATIONS TO KNOW AND MEMORIZE

slope formula
m= slope/ gradiant -- same thing
\[m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\]

standard formula
\[Ax+By=C\]

point-slope formula
\[y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\]

slope-intercept formula
b= y-intercept -- in the form of (0,y)

\[y=mx+b\]

Answer 3

use

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

m = slope
(x1,y1) = point the line goes through

Answer 4

A ???

Answer 5

Similar Example

Write the point-slope form of the equation passing through (3, -2) with a slope of 9.


y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-y1 = 9(x-x1) ... plug in the given slope

y-(-2) = 9(x-3) ... plug in the given point

y+2 = 9(x-3)

This isn't your answer since it's just an example
